The Reese Bass Thread

[PillowFight]

Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it. I'm too lazy to type out how I did it so here is the instrument rack

You will need A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY

Ftfy, but that track you got goin is sick tho

[Apex]

Hey guys! I have been reading this thread for a while and I got to say it has helped me quite a bit!

Here is my latest track I did with a friend... honestly we didn't really know what we were doing to create this sort of reese sound but the end result made me quite happy.

Let me know if you guys like it! I'll make a tutorial or just give the instrument rack out.

That is so god damn sick!
Can you teach us what you did or upload the instrument rack? I'm really interested to see what makes this sound.

You will need Massive, FM8, FabFilter Pro-Q, Ohmicide, WOW Filter, izotope ozone 4 and sausage fattener

Absolutely sick bro, gonna have a mess around with it and try and learn how basses like that tick, one or two instruments I don't have but whatever it's great without

Have to tweak the effects and modulation quite a bit, but sounding decent so far

nice clean/yet dirty sound mate, how do you go about EQing shit like this? i cant get that cleaness

quite a bit of eq modulation with that one, but that's more for the effect of the modulation rather than making the sound cleaner. One tip tho is to notch some of the lower freqs to take away some 'mud'.

Do you have the same notch automation as you have in the other bands' notch filters, or do you just fuck with them randomly? (:

My tune in the description has some pretty nice reeses. If you wanna know how I made them lemme know

Sorry, didn't understand the question, can you rephrase it?

[Genevieve]

Diff question, how did you modulate the EQ? Were those notches too and were they wide or narrow or did you modulate THAT too? :p

Any additive eq'ing?

Haha sorry dude, I wrote it in the middle of the night so it doesn't make any sense.
My question was: You said "notch some of the lower freqs to take away some 'mud'.". How would you automate the notch on the lows? Or would you even automate it?

[Augment]

I used some eq modulation that I've used on basses before, not that hard, it's basically 2 eq's where I automate different bands.
Here's 2 other examples I've posted in the growl thread, but they're basically reeses aswell, and they have the same type of eq modulation going on.

For this one I took out a little bit of low end and boosted some of the upper highs with EQ 1 on this pic.

Then EQ 2 and 3 are the ones I will automate, in EQ 2 I automated band 1 like this

And in EQ 3, I'll automate band 1, which is a highpass, to go up to about 700hz usually, depends on the sound and how prominent I want the highpassing to be.
Band 2 is automated between 1000-1600 and band 3 between 2000-2400. Also varies on the sound.


Anything I didn't explain well enough or any other questions, just ask and I'll be happy to answer

[bouncingfish]

^Thanks so much for that dude!
I'll try this right now, see what I come up with.

I think this turned out pretty well. Reply if you want to know how I made it.

What filtering did this go through?

What FX plugins did you use

Wow sorry guys I thought I saved this project file but turns out I didn't. The wicked patch was just the wicked table on bend -/+ being automated by a somewhat slow envelope from 0-127-0. I applied small phase modulation that gave it the "detuned" sound you find in reeses. Anyways,I resampled it, done the usual reese processing (cut out lows, parallel distortion, phase) resampled again, more processing (very tiny flanger, even tinier delay, more distortion, more cutting out bad freqs.) *then resampled again and applied a low pass, high pass, and notch filter all being automated to give it the final movement*

*the lowpass and highpass are being automated by the sample automation clip, its just that the highpass is only being automated a fraction of the lowpass (In FL studio's "link to parameter" window, type in Input*0.32)


If you have questions or wanna know more just let me know and I'll try my best. I'm currently looking in my Edison history folder to see if I can find a resampled piece.


EDIT: Found it! This is it straight out of massive. It's downloadable too if you guys want it. IT has no effects on it besides what I did in massive with it. Maybe apply your own techniques to it and see what you come up with?

How did you make this?
Sounds gorgeous

[Augment]

Well there's quite a bit of processing behind it, and to be honest, I just feel too lazy to start explaining it all. I'll explain the basics tho

Used a slightly tweaked version of this patch, bigup to valzugg for it, awesome patch.
Distorted quite a lot with camelphat, fruity's fast dist, waveshaper etc, then there's one notch filter sweeping the mids/lower mids and a bit of flanger. Used quite a few instances of different distortions. Layered and compressed with high passed noise of plastic, for a better high end.
Here's a version of it with a bit different filters/movement and I think I tweaked the disto and eq'ed it more. Oh yeah, remember to eq it haha

Random melody and just some simple drums for the showcase C:
EDIT: oops, forgot to take the disto tails out, but yeah yeah
